Need we say more than what has been said in our feature story?! The 1986 English Cuvée is in a class by itself. You will not find a better sparkling wine in the country for under $20.00. It is pattered after the full-flavored French Champagnes developed for export to the British market.
The English Cuvée is Van der Kamp's most popular and sought after Champagne. The highly regarded publication, Connoisseur's Guide, gave it a rare 3-stars - their highest rating. This 1986 vintage has the characteristic toasty flavors, yeasty aromas, and full-boddidness that ensures maximum aging potential.
